Hi
I have a 04 IronHorse SGS DH Pro frame with a 1.5" headtube.
When I bought the complete bike it was listed as having an E-13 1.5 - 1.125 reducer fitted with a 1.125 FSA IS-2 headset.
But now when I come to service the headset I find it actually has some cheap ball bearing Aheadset with a reducing crown race and top insert. Anyone know if this is what the SGS DH Pro was meant to come with?
Anyway, what I was wondering is what would be the best way to go headset wise for this frame?
I can either get E-13 reducers and fit one of the few internal headsets available to fit them or go with a better quality reducing headset. Strength and durability are far more important to me than weight.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary.
